FMS119.. Hello Baby

Happy Friday!

I squeezed some craft time this week and created a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches.  I know I will be using this sketch down the road:

My card:

The card base is Whisper White, topped off with Lucky Limeade card stock. The patterned paper is from my stash.  A knitted baby sweater takes center stage.  I inserted toothpicks to simulate knitting needles.  The circles were die-cut using the Standard Circles Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from SU! Teeny Tiny Wishes, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  For the final touch, I adhered 3 pearls in the bottom right-hand corner.  This was certainly a fun card to put together!

The Card Concept #1

Hello Friends,

There is a new challenge blog called The Card Concept.  This is an exciting challenge, since you have 6 style themes to choose from!  I couldn't resist not making a Valentine's card using this color combo:

My card:

I decided to go with a Clean and Simple (CAS) card.  The card base is Very Vanilla, with another layer of the same card stock.  The branch was die-cut from Espresso card stock using the Memory Box Woodland Branch and the swing was die-cut from Kraft card stock using the Memory Box Set of Swings.  The tree was hand drawn.  Two pink hearts were adhered to the swing using some dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping Be Mine, and was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Hello Friends!

Happy New Year! 

There is a brand new creative challenge called Colour Me...!  This week, we are asked to use Island Indigo + neutral.

                                       

My card:

Today, I decided to go with a clean and simple card.  The card base is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Very Vanilla card stock adhered on the right-hand side.  Using the Memory Box Petite Umbrella, I die-cut 2 umbrellas and layered the negatives over some Island Indigo card stock.  To add some texture, I adhered a scalloped edging underneath the Very Vanilla card stock panel.  The sentiment is SU! Wetlands, and was stamped with Island Indigo ink.  As a final touch, I added two small pearls to the umbrellas.
